OPPORTUNITY FOR SIXERS

The Flyers and the Eagles are in their offseasons. The Phillies are playing that way.

And the Sixers are in the second round of the playoffs ... which has Josh Harris, their first-year owner, with a fresh opportunity to fill a certain void.

“We want to fill that gap and grab the fans by the collar and drag them into the stadium,” Harris said after the Sixers' 79-78 victory over the Chicago Bulls Thursday. “We're going to leverage the opportunity and hopefully do a good job out there and bring some excitement to Philly.”

Check out the Daily Times and delcotimes.com Friday for my story on Harris and a column about how the Sixers are turning on Philadelphia's sports fans.
